Due to a lack of funds, the server would be going down at the end of the month. Actually, the server should have gone down at the beginning of this month, I've been paying out of pocket to cover the costs up until now. In order to get more donations for the server, we allowed more people to join. More people = more trash/cheaters/griefers = more work. Except donations didn't increase at all and now I've had to spend far more time maintaining small little things on a server I'm hosting out of my pocket for other people that I don't even play on anymore. So the server is shutting down.
The point is I'm not trying to take the server away from you guys, but that the server work is taking my time and money and I get nothing out of it. So I'm quitting. If anyone else wants to run the server, be my guest! There are links below for the server map at the time of shut down and the server software and settings that was being used such as the whitelist (doesn't include the map). I would love for the server to live on (and especially get the chance to play on it again in the future with the new updates!), but again - I do not have the time nor resources to devote to maintaining it any longer.
KinoftheFlames' Vanilla Server
KinoftheFlames' Vanilla is a 24/7 private server with only vanilla content. That means there are no free items and the only gameplay mods are to help bring the game as close as possible to Notch's design.
Want that diamond tool set? You're going to have to earn it, miner.
The server is only based around the idea of original gameplay, grief free, in a beautiful minecraft world. My goal is to impose as few limitations on the experience as possible, while at the same time keeping everyone happy.
[*:rnq0suzk][10/9/10] The server now has a player cap of 9 players due to lag. If you donate you will bypass this (read the donation section) and you will also be helping fund the server to stay alive!
[*:rnq0suzk][10/9/10] Server should now ALWAYS start at High priority, resulting in marginally less lag in certain circumstances.
[*:rnq0suzk][10/9/10] Updated to hey0's mod 111 and added the GriefAlert plugin
[*:rnq0suzk][10/1/10] Since changes in the IP address are becoming very hard to deal with and we are accepting all applicants to the whitelist, it's been decided there is no harm in listing the IP address in the thread. After all players can't join without being whitelisted anyway. In the event of name phising or DDOS attacks the server will be shutdown until the problem is patched/the DDOS stops.
[*:rnq0suzk][9/30/10] To get our server much more active than it should be we are opening recruitment to everyone. Just apply in this thread and you are in! Also we are now providing additional incentives to donate (see below). Please consider donating, we REALLY need your help!
[*:rnq0suzk][9/21/10] IP changed, PM Xbob for it if you are already on the whitelist This will happen tentatively on October 1st, 2010.
---End Recent News---
Features
[*:rnq0suzk]No griefing! - only one recorded griefer, from the first/only referral ever allowed
[*:rnq0suzk]No lag! - we WILL lower the player cap to enforce this
[*:rnq0suzk]No "PvP" - at this point, as most people consider all current PvP griefing
[*:rnq0suzk]24/7! - the only downtime is when the server is restarted to install updates or for performance reasons
[*:rnq0suzk]Beautiful scenery - no floating trees, random pillars, or crowded buildings (report violations to admins)
[*:rnq0suzk]Anti-Griefing - private IP, whitelist, server mods, ip bans, hourly server backups
[*:rnq0suzk]Ventrillo - talk to other players rather than taking minutes to type out conversations
[*:rnq0suzk]Even more! - the server is running some mods (detailed below) that add functionality
Rules
1. Griefing is a permaban offense, if you think it might be considered griefing - don't do it.
2. Don't destroy or build in existing, player-made structures without player's permission. You can "claim" an area if you build things there, such as a fence enclosing an area.
3. Make your structures are beautiful and meld well with their surroundings. Use your judgment, or ask others for theirs. Eyesores will be purged.
4. You either cut down all of a tree, or none of it. No floating trees. See rule 3.
5. If you cannot finish your construction in one session, make sure you leave it in a pleasing state. See rule 3.
Server Specs
[*:rnq0suzk]Located in glorious Michigan
[*:rnq0suzk]8GB, 1333 MHz RAM
[*:rnq0suzk]2TB, 14400 RPM HD (raid 0)
[*:rnq0suzk]Player Cap: 9
How to Apply
You can apply for admittance by posting in this thread with your in game name, no more PMs! Once accepted, you will be notified via PM and you may then join the server at the IP address below. If you have any issues connecting, let me know.
IP address: 173.46.244.155
Donating
I simply do not have the money to support a good server myself. We need donations from YOU to continue running the server. Without donations the server would eventually have to shut down! So if you love the server and play regularly, donate!
As an additional incentive, players who donated $5 USD or more will be added to a reserved players list. They will be able to get on even when the server is full. They will also gain the ability to teleport for fast travel! Commands donators gain are: /warp, /listwarps, /home, and /sethome. Warps can only be placed and removed by moderators.
NOTE: Paypal charges a fee of 2.2% + $0.30 per donation, so in order to donate $5 you would actually need to donate $5.42
Example: You donate $4.99 or less, you get nothing. You donate $5 - $9.99, you get donator privileges for 1 month. You donate $10-$14.99, you get donator privileges for 2 months, etc. Donations are processed manually, so please notify me by PM when you donate, what name it was under, what the amount was, and what your in game name is. Also, if you wish to remain anonymous on the donator list, mention that too.
[*:rnq0suzk]If you are getting kicked and have connected before you have either been banned or the server is full, consider donating (see above).
[*:rnq0suzk]If your client is crashing (freeze followed by black screen) change your fog distance from FAR to NORMAL.
[*:rnq0suzk]Do not use /home with valuables, many players crash when using this command.
[*:rnq0suzk]If you REALLY do not want to lose what you build, exit the area regularly. It is believed that the server saves a chunk when a player leaves it. In the case that the server crashes, your changes will not be lost.
[*:rnq0suzk]Buckets work as normal except when placing water/lava in a tile that has flowing (not a spring) water/lava. In this case, place a block in that spot, then quickly remove it and place the water/lava from the bucket.
[*:rnq0suzk]The server uses customized versions of hey0's mod (viewtopic.php?f=1012&t=23340) and SuperLlama's "Llamacraft" mod (viewtopic.php?f=1012&t=23483). For more information on what these mods do, visit the threads.
[*:rnq0suzk]The server runs on a windows box and runs windows update automatically at 3am EST, sometimes windows update will force a restart to implement the update.
See that guy pass you clad in diamond? He's probably been here a while.
I assume by "clad in diamond" you mean that he's wearing diamond armor. Armor is only client-side at the moment. Also, is there going to be a shop, some kind of currency, etc. as well?
I'd gladly join. I like servers like this.
My ingame name is ".Snake".
Just a question on the diamond system. Will you update it everytime they make a withdrawal to 0? Because it'd be pretty easy to withdraw them all, make a diamond pickaxe, drop it somewhere, disconnect, rejoin and say that you d/ced, request new diamonds again and then have yourself a full toolset of diamonds

oops thanks forgot to add that. At this time you can't lose from your balance, though this may be changed in the future as a type of minor penalty system or something else to do with server economics.
Could i get an invite please?
I like the idea of having to start out with nothing and work your way to the top instead of just logging in and being handed diamond everything.
The diamond balance is also a great idea, i hate working on stuff for an hour or so only to get DC'ed or have a server crash.
I'd offer my bucket-fixing flint-nerfing tnt-breaking server mod, but you already said it's a vanilla server without mods. It also happens to remove /iron and /wood...
I might like to join too, though another request was already authorized (nate's server, which is apparently down right now)
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
My ankle's uncle is my uncle's ankle. It's true! My Server Mods: Runecraft SMP Server Mod - java class replacer for SMP which adds magic runes. Llamacraft SMP Server Mod - bucket fix, lava nerf, etc.
Check your PMs for invites! Just updated to the new java wrapper so whitelisted items - horray!

Well like I said it's unmodded in the sense of we're modding it to get it as close to original minecraft as possible. If you have something that removes fire/TNT and /iron, /wood.... by all means share it! If it has good functionality I may use it
I'd be happy to join - I hate servers where you just say "give me this and this and this." I love to mine and build houses in cliffs. my ingame name is jormax

Vanilla sounds great, starting from scratch and all :biggrin.gif: I like to build with others and make towns/villages/anything
I'm a cave explorer and shack builder. It's all I really enjoy doing. Not much into bridge building or cactus farming.
My name is Exclamator.
